Hi, there!
With some time to kill tonight I flipped through my copy of the Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows and picked out some bonus games based on pure luck (since, for your purposes, they're probably easier to program) and two bonus games that might require programming that can recognize spelling.
THE BIG SHOWDOWN
CHEAP SHOW
DEALER'S CHOICE
EYE GUESS
GAMBIT
MAGNIFICENT MARBLE MACHINE
TOP CARD
and the two that require spelling and word recognition:
CAESAR'S CHALLENGE
WINNING STREAK
Also, two probably-dumb questions:
1. Since you're basing it on the Eubanks version, will the Money Cards have Jokers for a follow-up car game?
2. Will Bullseye have a "pilot version" option like John Ricci, Jr.'s?
eye guess, and the big showdown are good ideas, my favs out of those. They would be great ideas because you dont win often, and it becomes addictive for that reason. For the big showdown, can you show the dice as they were in dan bergers game? That was a cool game. And make it so it takes a second to roll the dice so you cant roll twice or figure out the pattern.
I didn't make those games alone, it was a group effort.
YES, I did make two games before forming FLASHGames with Chris. They were DOS versions of Beat The Dragon from Tic Tac Dough and Dice Game from The Price is Right. They are and will no longer be available to the public.
FACT: Our version of Beat The Dragon uses the original graphics of the dollar amounts, the "Tic", and the "Tac" from my original DOS game.
Something that could have easily been drawn in an afternoon actually took a whole month to complete!!! Each graphic had to be painstakingly drawn in pixel by pixel.
QBasic 4.5 wasn't really intended for heavy graphics, hence why I no longer use it to make games.
